Hi,

I applied on 8th August from UK. I have received the reference letter and the fee has also been deducted. I have not got any verification calls so far.

Could you please enlighten me on "Verification Calls by Integra"? I am sorry, I have no idea about this.

Thanks,
maybe

Has the fee been deducted from your account?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. It really makes me feel much better.

What Border Agency number did you try? I have been trying 0114 207 4074 for many days/weeks but could never get through. Am I trying wrong number?

Thanks,
maybe

Two new sections have been added:

1. MBA Transitional Arrangements
2. HSMP Forum Ltd. Judicial Review

I am neither MBA nor do I require Judicial review.

Rest of the form is same.

Thanks,
